Thoughts - Ali Anani, PhD -Complexity

The idea of this presentation sprang up in my mind while standing nearby trees, which were dancing and singing with the wind

Idea are like trees they branch out and grow and suddenly they start dancing and whistling with the storms of brainstorming

I took a video of the scene.

Can we predict where the wind shall send the branches?Stop the video and try to guess where a selected branch will move to

Even for a second in the future this forecast will be difficult to prove correct

Now, listen to the rhythm of the singing trees

Can you predict the next sound

Again, this prediction might be difficult even though you may notice some repeating pattern in the music.

A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium

As trees have fractal repeating patterns, so are sounds coming outof trees

The orderly trees make sounds of repeating patterns

Sound patterns coming out of the chaotic wind

We talk about the Butterfly Effect

How about The Wind Effect?

A butterfly effect starts when a butterfly flips its wingsA tree has many wingsI mean branches

When trees flip their branchesthey whistle as well leading tomaximized Butterfly Effect

Not only that as trees have built-in pendulums in their leaves structure

Stalk (Rebiola)

Leaf mass acting as ball

This way trees are composed of great number of pendulums moving with the wind togetherOut of their chaotic movements comes musical sounds

It is amazing how thesetree pendulums figure out toshout with certain patterns

I wonder if this leads toa valid suggestion!

Why not hold brainstorming sessions in a tree-format structure so that ideas patterns may appear.A tree rippling effect emerges influencing leaf and tree surrounding it

We need brainstorming sessions with rippling effects

Adjacent leaves go in different trajectories

The wind ensures that two adjacent leaves in a complex system will eventually end up in very different positions after some time has elapsed.

Watch the video again and see how true this is

A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.

Do you feel the music coming from the trees in the video are ending?

This is complexity in action

Small changes may cause big effects in trees

Wax a tree leave andits behavior changes

Water on leaves

The drops of water magnifies the leaf and we discover that its structure is repeating

A tree leaf teaches us thatwe live in infinity

So are the lessons from trees

We may plant seeds of hate for a job, to give one example

So are the lessons from trees

The seed grows into a tree with infinite possibilities

Always plant the seeds of gratitude and spread

around the music of joy
